Overall Weighted Team Rankings?

    Hi,
    in my sports league, i would like to create an overall weighted teams ranking:
    the formula should depend on assigning to each match a different set of victory points depending on the match importance: eg: National League: 10 pts, National League Finals, 30 pts, Friendly match: 1 pt, Regional Cup 5 pts..

    how can i do such f(x) with Sportspress? is it possible?

    the only thing i was able, was just to create an overall ranking based on qualified matches only (not friendly matches).

    In case it is not possible, is there any workaround? eg: if i create my fx on excel, is there a way to import simply the resulting rank points and assign them to each team, to create a “fake” league which consists in the rankings without any editing of events? Or maybe creating the values inside the events themselves ?

    thanks

    Hi!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The easiest way to do it is with different event outcomes for each of your different point possibilities.

    So instead of just having just “win”, you’d have “win-National”, “win-National-Finals”, “win-friendly”.

    Another option (which I think is easier to implement but worse in the long run) is adding a new event results field for these points. So in addition to “goals” for example, you’d have “event-points”.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for the hint, i was actually thinking about something like your 2nd solution.
    Why would you say it’s worse in the long run?

    thank you

    Hi there!

    Usually, I lean towards the type of data that stores more information.

    So if you store the “win-national” and you want in the future to process this differently (instead of 10 points use it as 2) it is a piece of cake. If you want to list all national wins for a team, that would be easy as well.

    Now if you just do it as a “points” field you have very little information on why these points are different. So any of these ideas would require an immense amount of work (they are possible with a lot of custom code).

    If I can choose now and opt for a more “robust” solution I tend to go for it. But both should work for what you need. And ultimately this comes down to who is uploading results and scores. We need to take this into account as well, and make sure the event creation is as error-free as possible.

    Thanks!
